Thanks ppl I appreciate you taking the time to reply, it has clarified what I needed to know.

I am in the market for a new motherboard but an abit confused with what I can and cannot use. I have a GeForce 9800 GX2 so it only uses one PCI-e slot. First question: if I don't intend to go for a two card SLI config in the future, does that mean I can use my GX2 on any single PCI-e slot...

As Ice would say you pay for what you get, I brought a PCP&C Sli model from the States into Nz, sure it was expensive, but cheaper than a cple of sticks of good quality Ram, and at least I know I shouldn't have any problems because of the Psu. It cost me about $430 Nz delivered.

Nice to see people are able to make comments about sheep, other than the usual slant taken;) Well Ice, they say a Dog is mans best friend :D

Hmmm High qual plug, I went to the Local electrical supplier and although it is heavy duty, it doesn't appear much different than normal plugs :mad: . I notice the cable is rated for 15 amps which prob is why it is extra thick. Unfort the 15amp plugs available wont fit in normal socket, so I...

Well Welcome to the land of Milk and Honey, Boss, hope you enjoy the life down Under :D, the reason I wanted to keep the power cord that came with the Psu was that it look like a good quality one, with heavy duty wire strands. Ice thanks for the Info, confirmed what I have managed to find...

I have recently brought a PCP&C Psu, however it came with a US Plug, which wont fit in Nz Sockets, I just want to confirm, which wire is which, before I rewire a New Plug on. The wire colours are Black/ White and Green, which I presume are US coded :confused: Nz wire colours are...

Hmmm, ok thanks for the input Ppl.

I'm currently building a new Amd 939 Sli system, but am not sure what path to take with the memory. I will be getting 1 Gig, but should I go for One 1 Gig Dimm, or 2 x 512 ?? :confused: I appreciate the board will be Dual channel, but is there such a great gain to be had using 2 dimm's in Duel...

Thanks Ppl, I might have to try calling, but will have to check out the toll rates first, as down in New Zealand. So could be expensive :(

Greetings all, I recently ordered Online an Psu from PC Power & Cooling,(approx 1 week ago). Since then I have heard nothing from them, other than asking for copy of Id (rec'd the same day and replied to the same day). I have sent several E mails offf, and still had no response. Is there a...

I'll will have to send off a message to PCP&C about that plug forgot about that little matter :rolleyes: Migration all part of our plan for World Domination, Australia, then onto DisneyLand :D

Thanks Ice, for the tips, I see yr knowledge also extends to the rivaly between Nz and Aussie ;) I made the leap and ordered a PCP@C 510 Sli unit. As is often pointed out we can spend so much time and money on other components, yet resist the need to put in a quality Psu's. Hopefully it...

Thanks for the reply, I will look into both those points, appreciate you taking the time to respond.

I have been reading quite abit on the forums about the various Pros and Cons of a number of PSu's and have come down to the conclusion that good lvls on the 12V rail/rails is one of the main points to look for, (apart from Maker of course). All in all the Tagan TG480-U01 came up quite well...
